The government confirms that the restriction on coal and fuel oil for pleasure yachts does not apply to gasolene for pleasure launches or to any use of kerosene or gasolene. Launch owners rejoice though concern over fishing and propulsion ends. The note suggests steam yacht coal bans are praiseworthy and hints at repurposing yachts for coal transport to New England.
The piece mocks Berlin for demanding von Rintelen in exchange for London while threatening reprisals on American prisoners. Secretary Lansing rejects the German tactic, noting risks to German citizens in the United States and questioning the mindset behind such threats.
A closing remark derides a boast about German thunderbolts, arguing such mockery risks dulling life’s savor and undermining morale in wartime propaganda.
All signs point to active engagement by American troops in a major offensive.

Grenville S. MacFarland argued before the Gas and Electric Light Commission that Boston Edison Electric Illuminating Company’s current rates are extortionate and unreasonable when compared with other utilities in less prolific areas.

Violet Snow, staying with Uncle Henry on a country farm to improve her health, meets Billy Morris after a playful hill roll. Their daily meetings grow into a romance culminating in an engagement a month later when Violet shows a solitaire ring on her fourth finger. Daisy the cow and Sport the dog witness the happy twist.
